1. A system for providing an image to a user, comprising a binocular device for transmitting an image into a first eye and a second eye of the user, and an image generating device for providing said binocular device with said image;
- wherein said binocular device comprises a first monocular device for providing the first eye with a first asymmetric field-of-view associated with a first range of incident angles corresponding to a first portion of said image and a second monocular device for providing the second eye with a second asymmetric field-of-view associated with a second range of incident angles corresponding to a second portion of said image and being different from said first asymmetric field-of-view, said first and second asymmetric field-of-views being mutually complementary to a combined field-of-view which is wider than each of said first and said second asymmetric field-of-views.

Abstract
A binocular device for transmitting an image into the eyes is provided. The binocular device comprises a first monocular device, for providing one eye with a first asymmetric field-of-view, and a second monocular device for providing another eye with a second asymmetric field-of-view, where the first and second asymmetric field-of-views are mutually complementary to a combined field-of-view, wider than each individual asymmetric field-of-view.

22. A communication kit, comprising:
-
a communication device, for providing a stream of imagery data; an image generating device for receiving said stream of imagery data and generating an image therefrom; and a binocular device for transmitting said image into a first eye and a second eye of the user; wherein said binocular device comprises a first monocular device for providing the first eye with a first asymmetric field-of-view associated with a first range of incident angles corresponding to a first portion of said image and a second monocular device for providing the second eye with a second asymmetric field-of-view associated with a second range of incident angles corresponding to a second portion of said image and being different from said first asymmetric field-of-view, said first and second asymmetric field-of-views being mutually complementary to a combined field-of-view which is wider than each of said first and said second asymmetric field-of-views. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39)

40. A method of viewing an image, comprising at least the steps of:
-
(a) generating an image using an image generating device; and (b) viewing said image through a binocular device using a first eye and a second eye, in a manner such that a first asymmetric field-of-view of associated with a first range of incident angles corresponding to first portion of said image is viewed by said first eye, and a second asymmetric field-of-view associated with a second range of incident angles corresponding to a second portion of said image and being different from said first asymmetric field-of-view, is viewed by said second eye, wherein said first and second asymmetric field-of-views are mutually complementary to a combined field-of-view which is wider than each of said first and said second asymmetric field-of-views. - View Dependent Claims (41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57)
